What people are saying about Scuba School…
- J924CMnadineg
My son started training at his school with Scuba School and loved it. After PADI Seal Team he was hooked! This weekend, he got his open water diver qualification and... read more his dry suit diver specialty, he's 12. The whole team are amazing, so professional and safety conscious, and so enthusiastic! Jimmy and Lee were awesome instructors throughout and taught him so well. The amazing volunteer divers were so encouraging and couldn't do more to help him feel safe. I cannot recommend Scuba School highly enough, he'll definitely go back to do further qualifications! Thank you to a truly brilliant team! 
20th August 2023David_from_UK For my 63rd birthday I treated myself to a try dive at Scuba School, before progressing to PADI open water qualification.
I did a fair amount of googling and... read more chose Scuba School because the web site and the facebook page gave me reassurance that they would be offering plenty of support and diving opportunities after I had qualified.
I have not regretted my choice for an instant. The team are friendly and support you through all of the skills that you have to learn, and make the whole experience fun and unpressured, but at the same time you are left in no doubt that the number one priority is safety, and they ensure that you understand and practice the key concepts that will keep yourselves and others safe.
After qualification, I was able to join a number of “Finding you Fins” dives, which are specifically designed to broaden the experience of new divers, again fully supported by the Scuba School, team.
And more recently, I have enjoyed a co-ordinated trip to Scuba School’s dive centre by the side of the Red Sea where I achieved my PADI Advanced Open Water, and I was blown away by the beauty of the reefs.
So since joining Scuba School, I feel like I have joined a diving family. These people have a passion for diving and for the well-being of the oceans, and they get a genuine thrill from sharing that passion with others.
Give it a try!
31st May 2023 - victoriapI2045RY Highly recommended. I only needed to do my refresher course in 2022 but ended up doing my dry suit course and the Rescue certification as well! The scuba school instructors... read more were fantastic - I wasn't super confident in the dry suit but Kerry, Lee and Dave, along with my team, gave me all the support I needed to gain confidence - I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to complete the course with. The rescue weekend was challenging but so enjoyable as well as educational. I walked into Scuba school as an individual scuba diver and now it feels like I have a whole new group of Scuba friends to enjoy diving with...if you are considering learning to dive - give it a go - you will not regret it.
18th April 2023Craig A Would recomend to all level of divers & snorkeling ,great boat with great guides & boat staff always ready to help, well organised all round
3rd February 2023 - Y4760AUmartinh Having heard good things about scuba school in Studley, I made some direct enquiries. I spent probably 1 and a 1/2 hours in the shop talking to a guy who... read more talked about what he knows and knows what he is talking about. The most striking thing was that I left impressed with the professionalism, honesty, friendliness and knowledge of Darren and his team. I am looking forward to relearning my diving skills in an atmosphere which I think will be supportive and tailored to my specific needs and learning style.
29th March 2022Penelope Y Highly recommended, I only started scuba 8 months ago with no previous experience they cut no corners, safety is their first priority, I’ve done 3 courses with them now, at... read more the end of each course i felt completely confident in my new abilities, if like me you are doing this alone be warned you will be adopted, you will sit for hours drinking coffee eating cake in the little on-site cafe just chatting all mad things scuba, they arrange social evenings, dinner, Christmas party, scuba diving weekends and day trips, organised trips to the Maldives, Egypt and so on if you are looking for a scuba diving family for life not somewhere that just takes your money and sends you on your way, these are the people this is the place your looking for. Picture of the shark diving course I’ve just completed arranged by scuba school
29th March 2022 - Pedaloman I have just completed a rescue diver course with Scuba School Studley and felt compelled to write a review to tell you how great the whole experience was.
Being a... read more 56 year old construction safety manager I find that all too often courses seem to be a tick the box and pay up exercise. But not here.
From the off it was explained that the course was not a given and would be earned.
The First response course was run by Brian Fanthom whos practical experience and knowledge was limitless making it by far the best 1st Aid course that I have done.
The knowledge review and exam was done by Kerry Timms who talked through and explained everything really well.
We did pool sessions and knowledge reviews with Brian who really helped us to get a grip on the exercises.
We then went to Capernwray dive center for two days.
Day one was continued exercises with Brian and Kerry who worked us very hard but explained everything along the way.
Day two…… All I can say is OMG! We had most of Scuba school involved all playing their part. With lifelike dummies fully in scuba gear hidden under the water, bystanders playing their part and actual paramedics turning up to play their part. The scenarios could not of been more realistic. It was very apparent that everybody was going way beyond the norm to make it a very special occasion.
I would like to personally thank Brian Fanthom Kerry Timms, Darren Ellis, Fiona Gray and all the other instructors, dive masters and interns for making this the best and most rewarding course that I have done so far.
Im not normally one for writing reviews but felt that in a world so full of negatives it might be good to give some positive feedback.
Because of this experience I am doing the dive master course.
4th February 2021HelenS3698 Can’t thank scuba school enough for the help, support and encouragement they have given my son and I. My son who has some learning challenges has been welcomed... read more into the club with full open arms. Every step of his way there has been someone there checking in, helping, explaining and happy to spend as much time that my son needs to understand. They definitely DO go above and beyond and with their continued support I have no doubt that Jamie will fulfil his dreams!!!
Highly recommend- let the adventures begin!!!
6th October 2020 - MikeBlenkinsop You're in safe competent hands for a whole lotta fun and adventure! Support group from the club is excellent with plenty of trips to enjoy.
5th September 2020Mary B The team at Scuba school were very friendly and welcoming they even made me a lovely cup of tea while we chatted before my session had even started, they really... read more made me feel part of the family.
My instructor Darren made me feel relaxed in the water so I felt safe to do the underwater skills such as flooding my mask when I had started off a little nervous about doing them, experiencing the world of diving with these guys it's easy to see why they are a 5 star rated PADI centre.
13th February 2020 - matt3813 Having seen the scuba school pop up on face boob I thought I pop along and see them after viewing their web site.
On first arrival in the shop... read more my wife and were greeted by a lovely bald headed man called Darren he was the Gaffa then his lovely wife Fiona came out from round the back. We were offered a hot drink and we chatted about general stuff and also diving trips events etc.
Scuba school have a vast range of events taking place over the year from courses to social events to weekends away.
They also have a scuba club which is chargeable however the benefits you get is well worth the joining fee.
No only are Darren and Fiona friendly the whole team are so welcoming and have made us feel apart of the family from the off.
Looking forward to the adventures along the way.
Thanks guys

10th February 2020 - 509jakek We recently completed the DSD course and I could not recommend it highly enough! As first time divers, the staff and instructors made us feel completely at home in the... read more water making the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Our instructors Josh and Rob were
very friendly and knowledgeable which helped us to quickly grasp some of the underwater skills such as removing the regulator underwater whilst feeling like we were in safe hands.
